Thanks for this. I'm a former U.S. Navy Journalist who was stationed at the Broadcasting Detachment in Keflavik from 1991-1993. Good times.

I just saw your comment. Thanks. Good to hear from someone else who spent a couple of years on "The Rock". I'm sure things were quite a bit different '91-'93 than when I was there in the '70's. Of course, I'm sure much is still the same! I put this video on YouTube about 18 months ago just to show a couple of people - including my two sons - what I did in the military. I'm somewhat surprised it's received so many hits.

Anyway, thanks again for the comment.
